Expert Care for Foot and Ankle Health
At HealthStride Orthopaedics, we understand the critical role your feet and ankles play in maintaining mobility, stability, and an active lifestyle. As specialists in foot and ankle orthopaedics, we are dedicated to diagnosing, treating, and managing conditions that affect the complex structures of the lower extremities. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, an injury, or a progressive condition, our team is here to provide expert, compassionate care tailored to your needs.
Conditions We Treat
Our orthopaedic team is experienced in treating a wide range of foot and ankle conditions, from common injuries to complex deformities. Conditions we commonly address include:
• Bunions and Hammer Toes
Painful deformities like bunions and hammer toes can impact comfort, balance, and mobility. We offer both non-surgical and surgical options to relieve pain and restore function.
• Arthritis and Joint Pain
Arthritis can affect any joint in the foot and ankle, causing pain, stiffness, and swelling. Our specialists provide a range of treatments, from medication and orthotics to minimally invasive surgery.
• Ligament Injuries and Sprains
Ankle sprains and ligament tears are common in athletes and active individuals. Our team uses advanced diagnostic techniques to accurately assess these injuries and recommend effective treatments.
• Plantar Fasciitis and Heel Pain
Plantar fasciitis and other causes of heel pain can significantly affect your daily life. We provide treatments designed to reduce pain and support long-term healing.
• Flatfoot and Arch Disorders
Flatfoot and other arch issues can lead to discomfort and instability. Our approach includes non-surgical treatments as well as corrective surgery to restore proper foot alignment.
• Tendon Injuries (Achilles, Peroneal, and Tibialis)
Tendon injuries can result from overuse, trauma, or degeneration. We offer specialised treatments to repair and strengthen these vital structures.
Comprehensive Diagnostic Services
At HealthStride, accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective treatment. We use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools, including MRI, CT scans, and dynamic ultrasound, to assess each patient’s condition thoroughly. This allows us to understand the root cause of your symptoms and create a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. Our advanced imaging and diagnostic capabilities mean we can detect even subtle issues, ensuring you receive the best possible care from the outset.
Treatment Options
Our foot and ankle orthopaedic services cover a wide range of treatments, from conservative care to advanced surgical procedures. Our goal is always to find the least invasive solution that delivers the best results. Treatment options include:
• Non-Surgical Approaches
We believe in exploring non-surgical options whenever possible. These may include physical therapy, custom orthotics, bracing, injections, and activity modifications. Our specialists work closely with you to create a conservative treatment plan that alleviates pain and restores function.
• Minimally Invasive Surgery
For conditions that require surgical intervention, we offer minimally invasive techniques that reduce recovery time and minimize scarring. This includes arthroscopic (keyhole) surgery, which allows us to address issues like ligament tears, cartilage damage, and joint instability with minimal impact on surrounding tissues.
• Reconstructive Surgery
In more complex cases, reconstructive surgery may be necessary to correct deformities or restore proper foot alignment. This can include procedures such as flatfoot reconstruction, tendon transfers, and osteotomy (bone realignment). Our experienced surgeons are skilled in both traditional and innovative reconstructive techniques, ensuring you receive the highest quality of care.
• Joint Fusion and Replacement
For severe arthritis or joint instability, joint fusion or replacement may be the most effective solution. Joint fusion stabilizes the foot by permanently joining certain bones, while joint replacement allows for preserved movement and function. These procedures are particularly beneficial for patients with advanced joint damage or degenerative conditions.
Rehabilitation and Aftercare
Recovery is just as important as the treatment itself. Our team provides comprehensive rehabilitation plans that are individually tailored to each patient’s needs. Post-treatment, we’ll guide you through physical therapy exercises and lifestyle modifications that support healing and improve strength, flexibility, and mobility. We stay with you every step of the way, offering continuous support and adjustments to your recovery plan to help you return to your activities as smoothly as possible.
